Thing is, he doesn’t really owe us details - it’s an open secret that Joss Whedon is a piece of crap. We didn’t know the details of him firing Charisma, but it’s been known he did it because she was pregnant for a long time. And his ex-wife wrote an open letter a few years back detailing some of his abuse and…

Super Timely Apt Response!

LW1: Look directly into your kid’s eyes, sit him down, and spend 45 minutes going into the ins and outs of how each toy is used, proper maintenance, and which sensations you find most pleasurable. Mention that it’s okay to be curious, and if you notice that he’s interested in any of your other things, you’re happy to…

Shout out to LW1 for being so understanding, because if I was the parent of a teenager who was stealing my sex toys, I would simply walk into the ocean.

“Also, while I can’t remember the exact line, Tommy’s scathing reply about Bravo was perfectly delivered.”

Production was delayed due to COVID, but picked back up in September 2020. It’s set to release later this year I believe.

On a somewhat related note: Whatever happened to Kevin Can F*** Himself, the announced AMC series that is/was to be headed by Annie Murphy?

Indeed!

I’m totally hijacking the discussion over at The Stand reviews with The Leftovers talk and promotion as well. King fans would be much happier watching The Leftovers if they haven’t already seen it.

You definitely should. Its an astounding tv show. It has tons to say and is playing with TV forms and conventions, but manages to do that within a really charming, likable character drama. It's almost frustratingly good.

I don’t think she’s saying that they were in direct competition, just that her happiness at getting nominated was tempered by the fact that I May Destroy You was not.

Despite some decent to fine acting, The Undoing was also shit and doesn’t deserve anything resembling a “best” award (except maybe for Grant who did what he could with a horribly written role).

There’s always some weirdo bringing their angry r/DeadBedrooms energy in response to these types of letters.

Ok first, your assessment of her ‘four jobs’ situation just doesn’t make any sense. Do you understand how time and fractions work? One part-time job is usually at least 10-20 hours a week, so add 1+1+1+1... *four* part-time jobs is 40 hours a week minimum- aka the equivalent of a full-time job.

You’re shocked that stressful circumstances make already-existing traumas come to the fore? What?

We can sue siblings for emotional distress? This is a game changing revelation. Better get ready, Eddie. Who’s going to be hitting themselves now?

Again, not saying he’s always cast in every thing for the same reason, but I’d argue that, while not malignant, Ed Blumquist totally exists in that space of middle-class white privilege, of “I’m a white male ages 18 to 36 and the idea that anyone suffers is simply beyond my ken.”

What, you weren’t familiar with the hugely influential Dillon Christian punk scene?

In retrospect, we really should’ve been more concerned when Crucifictorious played all those Skrewdriver covers.

It’s worth mentioning that Freddie Hampton’s assassination was basically part of a wider conspiracy orchestrated by the FBI called COINTELPRO. Which included illegal surveillance of civil rights leaders and prominent leftists, infiltrating leftist and civil rights organizations, and funding and arming a right wing…
